The fairies of this race live off of fear energy as well as food. The fear provides them with magical powers that are needed to not loose their powers and die. One way they found to get this energy that they need is to cause nightmares, some use this ability at any whim whenever they need the energy others used it more constructively and would teach lessons in the nightmare to people they preyed upon.

    They are dark fairies and are generally very scary looking and for the most part will resemble ghouls, other fairies don't even want to get near them. A chill surrounds each of the fairies of this race, when they touch people it feels like the icy touch of something dead, which has led them to be a very secretive race that doesn't seem to associate much with other fairies. Some of the fairies learned that to be accepted they had to stay in the shadows and get information for people, as well as not tell all the information that they get so that the other fairies would have to associate with them if they wanted any more information.

Lenore's history:

    Her younger life was fairly usual for a little girl and there appear to be nothing wrong with her, Once she became nine however she started to discover a power granted to her by the nightmare fairies... the ability to become one of them. She was visited a few times by another of this fairy race who spoke in riddles to her about a power she possessed. Most of these visits started out as dreams... but then moved to actually seeing the being that spoke to her in real life. The fairy would always seem to just appear in the shadows of her room allowing her to only see the faint glow from its eyes and speak whispers to her about things that she never heard of before. Things like a new name that she possessed and the things of the night.

    For a while she was very scared of this nightly visitor, but after she got used to and his nightly visits she started to try to talk with it. Everything it responded with was a half answer leaving her wondering and almost looking forward to its next visit to try to understand what it meant. At school she started to become more reserved, not really playing with the other students or taking as much enjoyment out of the actions that she used to. As things began to progress she started to become almost mesmerized by things that scared the other students. Spiders, insects, and other creatures that scared the other children for some reason began to look beautiful,

    After a few months of the visitor and staying up at night trying to force her eyes to make out more of the individual she started to shun the light of the sun, feeling that it was too bright for her. Whenever she looked into the mirror her reflection looked a bit greyer, and she started to see things for a brief time that no one else could see.

    Things began to quickly progress and she slowly started to embrace what was happening to her. After a while the visitor showed himself to her, he appeared to be an almost green individual whose skin looked a bit too large for his body. He dressed in rags of fancy clothing and moved with increasable ease. He took her to some of the places where other fairies gathered at night. She learned and absorbed what she could of this new culture, The colors, the sensations, the magic,.. everything.

    She seemed no longer interested in playing with her friends much after this, not that this mattered much to her. A good majority of her friends seemed to only hang out with her so that they could get the information that they needed from school from her brilliant brain. Other people seemed reluctant to try to become her friend from the dark cold air around her. As she became more and more Fairy her very presence seemed to both inspire awe and wonder as well as fear.

    After the gradual process she became full fairy, whenever she looked in the mirror she would see both her human side as well as the fairy side, She could easily tell which was which but the fairy side seemed more real to her. As she noticed that she had loosed her teeth in her fairy side she started to eat more carefully and slowly mostly mashing her food or soaking it in milk before she started to eat it. From this her body began to waist away and her parents (who were already worried about her from her behavior up to this point) started to try to take her to dentists to have them look at her teeth. The dentists would always report that her teeth were in good health and that they didn't see any reason why she acting like she couldn't use them, some suggested that it may be a mental illness. Doctors diagnosed her as chronic depressed, and started to try to give her medicine for it. She escaped taking the pills by washing them down the sink whenever she had to take them.

    Once she got a better hold on her powers she stared to use them against the people she once considered her friends to teach them a "lesson" about using other people for your own gain alone. After a few nights of rather intense nightmares her old friends actually stopped threatening others to do their work for them and started doing it themselves. For Lenore there was both a sense of gratification in the fact that they were no longer using her as well as she appeared to have gotten stronger for causing them the dreams.

    Things at home weren't going as well for Lenore, The stress caused from her parents concern started to get to her as they kept scheduling more counseling and trying to get her to take stronger drugs to save their daughter. She took a few of the drugs to appease her parents but she could feel the effects start to kill her. After a while of things getting to her, the being that visited her before when she was very little came back and offered her a solution to all of this: To follow him to where the other fairies stayed. She took him up on his offer and ran away from home.  Finished her schooling at a home school created by the other nightmare fairies and then was sent out to find a job and support herself the best she can while out in the world. She eventually changed her name to keep her now frantic parents from finding her.

    She now dedicates herself to trying to find out as much as she can about the real and the fairies world as well as what powers she possesses.
